What is the Meaning of Distinguished Service Medals?

The Chief of the Defence Force (CDF) continues to claim there are no issues with his Distinguished Service Cross despite evidence that says there is.

General Campbell never saw "action" on the two way rifle range with the enemy, as was required by letters patent for the medal at the time of his nomination.

Despite claiming he had no 'operational command' of soldiers who have been accused of war crimes in the Brereton report, the nomination for CDF Campbell's medal specifically states he received it for his 'operational command' of forces in the middle east.

So when there's medals to be handed out, the CDF is happy to enjoy the claim he had 'operational command', yet when its time to face accountability for allegations of wrong doing, he denies he had any command.

I've already called for General Campbell to step down. If he had any leadership at all he would, for the good of Australia's Defence Force.
